Re^4: How to change the drive letter for a CD/DVD drive on Windows?

Thx. That was it. Since DVD/CD Drives seem to be volume 0 it is as simple as:
diskpart /s script.txt

script.txt:
select volume=0
assign letter=R
list volume
[download]

Thanks

You might want to at least consider the possibility of multiple drives or other volume assignments: #! perl -slw use strict; my @vols = split "\n", `diskpart /s listvol.txt`; print for @vols; [download] Where listvoe.txt contains: `list volume` [download] Will get you the volume list. You can then grep on `/ROM/` and tease the line(s) apart to get the volume number. Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

Perfect.Good idea to get a safety net. It seems it could be also "DVD" i wonder if "blue ray" e.g. produce another output, but so far it will work since or new machines only got DVD-ROM drives ... `list volume: Volume 0 R DVD` [download] Thanks MH	[reply] [d/l]
